Come In Stranger lyrics

Words and Music by Johnny Cash



She said: `Come in stranger, it`s good to have you home.

I hurried thru `cause I knew it was you,

when I saw your dog, waggin` his tail.

Honey, why didn`t you let me know by mail?

You`ve been gone so long`



She said: `Come in stranger, I know you`re weary from all your miles.

Just sit right there in your easy chair,

and tell me all about the places you`ve been,

how long it`ll be before you leave again.

I hope it`s a long, long while.`



She said: `Come in stranger, everything `round home is fine.

I`ve watched and I`ve waited for you to get back,

and I missed you all the time.`





She said: `Come in , stranger, Oh how I need you when you`re gone.

I walk the floor and I watch the door

and when I lie awake and wonder where you can be,

I`d give anything to have you here with me.

I get so lonesome all alone.`

She said: `Come in, stranger, and won`t you listen to my plea.

Stay long enough, so that the one I love,

Is not a stranger to me.
